King George Says Not All Is Rosy In The Bronx

New York Yankees principal owner and managing partner, George Steinbrenner has spoken, and according to published reports, not all is well in Yankee Land. Steinbrenner, spoke with the Associated Press, in a report published on Friday and among other things said that general manager Brian Cashman was on a "Big hook." Steinbrenner said that Cashman wanted total authority, in team matters, that he currently has it, and the team's future is right now in his hands.

Steinbrenner, also told the A.P. that manager Joe Torre is not in any short term danger, that the team is not looking to make a change at the field general level. Steinbrenner, speculated that current Yankee coach Don Mattingly would probably become a fine manager some day. When asked to comment on New York DH Jason Giambi's interview last week, when Giambi said MLB owed the fans an apology the Yankees owner did appear to be pleased. Steinbrenner said that Giambi "should have kept his mouth shut. The matter is in the hands of the baseball commissioner."

It's funny that amidst all this talk of upheaval, there has been very little said or done to address the situation of the players on the field. I don't know if it's the wrong personnel, the wrong chemistry, or what, but I don't think Brian Cashman has anything to do with the Yankees troubles.
